TRANSITION TO DIGITAL LEARNINGIn many ways, the connectivity and access to the internet has transformed education at all levels. The ability for students to access learning materials on-line as well as for instructors to share lessons and collaborate has revolutionized teaching and learning. Where education used to be concentrated in school buildings, it can now be accessed by millions of people (almost) anywhere.

THE DIGITAL CLASSROOM OF TOMORROW PROMISES AN OUTSTANDING EDUCATION. IS YOUR NETWORK READY?

The classroom of tomorrow promises an outstanding education. Blended learning, digital curriculum and other modern learning models can better engage students and help educators be more effective.

With this digital transformation, lesson plans now depend on consistent, reliable connectivity to the school Wi-Fi network. Instead of leaving tools locked in the classroom, students walk in the door with their Chromebooks, tablets or other devices every morning, and take them home with them each night.

As such, there are three major concerns that school IT administrators are currently facing:

NETWORK AND BROADBAND SCALING

THE TOP PRIORITY FOR IT IS BROADBAND AND NETWORK CAPACITY. More devices are coming onto the network, stretching the limits of aging infrastructure. SETDA recommends 3000Mbps per 1000 students by 2018. Plan for growth, not rip-and-replace.

SECURITY AND STUDENT DATA PRIVACY

FACING THE TASK OF PROTECTING STUDENT DATA FROM MISUSE OR BREACH.49 of 50 U.S. states have drafted legislation or enacted laws to protect student data.

TRANSITION TO DIGITAL LEARNING

THE TRANSITION FROM TEXT-BASED CURRICULA TO BLENDED LEARNINGAvoid network down time. Even a three minute interruption can disrupt a 50 minute class.

HOW DOES THIS FIT IN MY SCHOOLWhether you manage a single school building, a district, or an office of education, Ruckus has you covered. As the #1 Wi-Fi vendor to Service Providers, our solutions are designed to be centrally managed or offered as a service (including cloud-managed).

A FAST AND RELIABLE NETWORK IS NO LONGER OPTIONAL.Don’t let your campus network become a roadblock. Invest in a wired & wireless network that supports future ready technologies and delivers proven performance, reliability, and scale for schools.

WHY CHOOSE RUCKUSFOR YOUR SCHOOL PROJECTAs your school continues its digital transformation to 1:1 mobile learning, Ruckus helps you address the top three challenges of school IT: network scaling, securing student data privacy, and network reliability for digital instruction. Our goal is to help you provide a safe and reliable learning environment at an affordable price.

RELIABLE WI-FI

Our passion is highlighted by 100+ RF patents that provide the strongest wireless connections and enable our access points (APs) to automatically adapt to non-ideal placement or changing conditions. Moreover, it has been independently proven that only Ruckus can sustain 60 HD video streams with just one AP*. Supporting more students with fewer APs means significant savings for your school.

SIMPLE SECURITY

We make securing every connection to your school network easy, with identity-based policies that facilitate rapid guest access on-boarding. This means an end to passwords and trouble tickets for Wi-Fi access. We also support CIPA compliance by allowing the restoration of content filtering for HTTPS traffic.

SCALABLE SWITCHING

Our switches support long distance stacking between closets, floors and buildings, while Ruckus Campus Fabric allows up to 1,800 ports to be managed under a single IP address. In addition, entry-level switch uplinks can be upgraded from 1GbE to 10GbE with just a software license. Similarly, our high-performance access switch uplinks can be upgraded to 40GbE or 100GbE.

EASY CLOUD

Ruckus Wi-Fi is now in the cloud and easier than ever to manage. Plus, our intuitive smartphone app allows you to deploy, monitor and manage APs on the go. And even when your subscription expires, the APs are still able serve your clients.

FUTURE PROOF

Our ICX access switch uplinks can be upgraded without replacing the switch. We also support stacking up to 12 switches, while Campus Fabric supports up to 36 switches with a single pane of glass. Our flexible switch deployment options include standalone, stacking and Campus Fabric (with the same switches). With Ruckus Cloud Wi-Fi, you can easily add APs,as well as in-building LTE or Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. For the latter two, simply plug into pre-existing APs—without ripping and replacing!

OPTIMAL FOR CHROMEBOOKS

Our Ruckus Cloudpath Chrome Extension enables simple network provisioning with a single click – and verifies which Chromebooks are school property. Moreover, only Ruckus can sustain 60 HD video streams with just one AP*. We also support CIPA compliance by allowing the restoration of content filtering for HTTPS traffic.

AFFORDABLE MULTI-GIGABIT

Our purpose-built multi-gigabit APs and switches are designed to work together. We offered the first entry-level multi-gigabit switch, with up to 16 multi-gigabit (2.5GbE) ports per 48-port switch, and up to 8 x 10GbE uplinks without over subscription. Our premium multi-gigabit access switch offers 24 x 1/2.5/5/10GbE ports with 40/100 GbE uplink ports. These multi-gigabit switches offer full PoE/PoE+ on all ports (up to 90W per port).

HOSPITALITY WE BRING OUR "A" GAMERuckus was one of only two vendors able to deliver stall-free streaming video to 60 clients in an unloaded network scenario—and the only vendor able to do so in every scenario, both with and without simultaneous network data loading. No other vendor came close. Testing was conducted with the Ruckus R610.

ETON COLLEGEAs a boys’ boarding school, Eton is home to 1,300 students who join at age 13 and continue until age 18. Teaching staff also lives on campus, so school operations never stop. As Eton has moved from a completely wired network environment to wireless infrastructure and applications over the past five years, the infrastructure continually changes to stay ahead of usage demands.

“As an independent boarding school, you have some unique demands on networks and equipment, we have an unusually large network for a school.”JOHN SAINTHOUSEHead of Information Technology, Eton College

CHALLENGE

Four hundred buildings, all major facilities systems, and school-provided desktop computers, laptops, and audio-visual equipment are connected over the core network. The core network also powers Eton’s Ruckus® wireless network, which started with 100 access points. In the past three years, boys have increasingly arrived at Eton with multiple devices—at least a laptop, tablet, and smartphone—and they expect a robust wireless network. Students’ Wi-Fi requirements, coupled with a cloud-based Virtual Learning Environment, use of video in classrooms, online access to college systems, wireless classroom technology, and the IP phone system require a high-performance wireless infrastructure.

Delivering high-quality Wi-Fi across many different environments on campus is challenging. Students and teaching staff need reliable connections in the boarding houses. Because each boy has his own room, the number of rooms, walls, and doors make it difficult to deliver uniformly good coverage and high capacity.

SOLUTION

As the wireless network grew from 100 to 700 access points, growing volumes of high-speed wireless traffic taxed the existing wired infrastructure, creating a bottleneck. Eton also enhanced online security by deploying Ruckus Cloudpath software for online security and policy management and iboss Cybersecurity for ensuring uniform protection across its network and cloud deployments. These new applications made it imperative to gain more capacity in the underlying wired network.

RUCKUS IS PARTNERING WITH LENOVO TO BRING VR LEARNING TO PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS WITH THE LENOVO VIRTUAL REALITY CLASSROOM KIT.

These self-contained kits are packed with everything educators need to get VR quickly up and running, including Lenovo Mirage Solo VR headsets, Lenovo Tab 4 PLUS 10” touchscreen tablets and thousands of hours of digital curriculum—all linked through Ruckus Wi-Fi access points (APs).

“Teachers are already working hard to develop and deliver digital lesson plans so they don’t have time to become an extension of their IT helpdesk. That’s why Lenovo designed the Lenovo VR Classroom to be simple, scalable and durable,” Nedwich told The Ruckus Room. “Each kit functions as a complete turnkey solution, with VR hardware, software, curriculum and Ruckus Wi-Fi all pre-configured and ready to go. There is no complex setup, or fiddling with settings to get and stay connected. You can just turn on the VR headsets, bring up today’s lesson plan on the tablet and start engaging students.”
